Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

I stripped the lettering off both a caboose and a Mikado and relettered them for my fictional road.

That is a sharp looking caboose.

Show me a fictional home road paint job.  Regards, Peter

I don't know if these qualify as a paint job but I stripped the lettering off both a caboose and a Mikado and relettered them for my fictional road.

John  -   Colourful or Unique.

 

The UK doesn't generally go for colourful,  but here is a unique one.

I've been having trouble connecting to the forums the last few days but things seem to be working OK for now.

 

I am glad to see you are back!

I'd say that photo scored on all three counts.

This one is just colorful.

Not fancy, but one-of-a-kind.

-Photograph by Kevin Parson

This is the only one of my SGRR PS-1 boxcars not to have a herald, but instead have "S&G" in large letters. I painted this one, then decided to spend the money to have Rail Graphics print me some heralds.

Show me another fancy or one of a kind paint scheme!

More fancy, special paint jobs, pleaase.

The NYC painted two cars in this paint scheme, a 40' and a 50' boxcar, as an experiment but settled on the Century Green car with the Cigar Band instead.

Any more slogans out there???

Thanks for starting the new Show Me Something thread Ed.

In my collection, the Road To The Future is the LANGFORD AND SOUTHERN:

In hindsight, I wish I would have made the Road To The Future be the HILL VALLEY CENTRAL, but that was not a quick enough thought.

More Slogans Please...
